Heifers will be managed at Draggin’ M Ranch and AI bred to a CDP Brangus herd sire of the buyer’s choosing. Craig or Grady are available for breeding recommendations, but the final choice will be left to the buyer. CDP Brangus covers the costs for pasture, feed, minerals, routine vaccinations, synchronization medications, and parasite control. Semen costs will also be covered if a CDP Brangus bull is used. A quality clean-up bull will be provided after AI at no additional charge. The heifers will be managed similarly to other virgin heifers at Draggin’ M Ranch. The HBO program costs an extra $750 on top of the heifer’s price, and this fee, along with the full purchase price, must be settled on the day of the sale. Once heifers are palpated and confirmed safe in calf, they will be deemed breeders with no further guarantees from CDP Brangus or its partners. Registration papers will be transferred to the new owner upon confirmation of pregnancy. If a heifer does not palpate pregnant, the buyer will receive a credit for the purchase price only, applicable to future CDP Brangus sales, excluding the $750 HBO fee or the heifer’s salvage value. Buyers are responsible for picking up the heifers within two weeks of being notified of palpation results. Arranging transportation from Draggin’ M Ranch to the buyer’s ranch is the buyer’s responsibility. CDP Brangus partners and cooperators are not liable for any deaths or veterinary expenses incurred by heifers in this program. We strongly recommend that buyers consider purchasing mortality insurance for their heifers. Customers interested in the HBO program are encouraged to discuss the details with a CDP Brangus representative before the sale. After the sale, we invite all customers wishing to enroll their heifers in the HBO program to meet with Craig or Grady to finalize details, ensure we have updated contact information, and address any questions.
